Rory Markham will take on the Anaconda’s Jay Hieron.  At the welterweight class, 185 lbs., the former member of the Wolfpack Gerald Harris steps in for Ryan McGivern and will take on the Anaconda’s Benji Radach.  “Mr. Harris” – as he is called because he is also a high school history teacher – is known for slamming his opponents, and should provide for an exiting match.  The former Ultimate Fighter TV show star Alex Schoenauer, who is originally from Argentina, will take on the Silverback’s Mike Ciesnelovicz in the light heavyweight division. In the heavyweight class Big Ben Rothwell will looking for a repeat of his 2006 encounter with the Anaconda’s Krzysztof Soszynski that resulted in a TKO win for the Silverback’s big man.
